I never knew women were allowed to command warships. maybe she's related to capt Bligh ???

That's Opie in a dress.:eek:

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.C. S. LewisDo not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. (Are you listening Barry)?:mad:Ayn Rand

I don't know about now, but the Navy used to have a way of treating people like this by putting them into a no-authority/practically no-responsibility position with a meaningless title. They tend to become harmless zombies. At any rate she will never get another command, and probably no more sea duty so her career is effectively over. But today it is hard to be sure. She may end up working for some liberal who thinks she needs another chance and gives her authority, and she will start all over again. As a 4 striper, she has to be allowed to retire unless she commits a courts martial offence. When she gets passed over 3 times she is out...so she has about 3 years left.

thanks for posting. i sent this on to some officers i served with in Nam. I served under 5 Captains. glad we didn't have anything like this. she drove morale right thru the keel !!!!

Wish the post could have been of a positive nature ... one o the main reasons I got out was Clinton's integration of women on combat ships. I was a plankowner on the Gettysburg (CG-64) and 3 months after my EAOS they were putting her in the yards to refit Supply berthing for women. Ironic that Capt. Graf was commander of Cowpens (CG-63) ... Cowpens was built right next to us at Bath Iron Works, was considered our sister ship. Bottom line (IMO), women in the military can work, women on ships can't. Just my opinion ...
